After resetting the file and directory permissions, cleaning up the database, uninstalling and reinstalling Digikam, it still did not show all my photos. I then decided to give darktable a try. After being overwhelmed by the functions of darktable, I could get good results in processing photos, some...

I have done the maintenance several times, without success. I tried the Digikam AppImage, without success. For the images where the installed Digikam 5.6.0 shows nothing (just a blue rectangle when I click on it), the AppImage version shows the file type (like JPG), and a gray thumbnail. But just li...

I doubt if the hardware or USB devices are causing this problem, as I don't have any other problems. My computer running is solid and stable. Here are the results of the commands you asked for. I will try to uninstall and reinstall Digikam before trying the AppImage installation. (I will first try t...

Hello, After upgrading to Mint 19 Tara (Cinnamon edition), Digikam is not working properly. In many albums the thumbnails are empty. They are there, I can click on them and see the stars and other buttons (see attached image). I can also open the context menu. But when I try to open the image using ...

Thanks, I already saw those themes. For now I started with a copy of the Mint-Y metacity file. I added a colour for the title bar of a focused window. I have to fine-tune it: button icons, maybe top border (has a small white line now), readability of title font. Attached is the first result so far.

Hello, Up to Mint 18.3 I was using the Metacity theme Clearlooks-Phenix . One of the reasons to use it, is the window title bar color of the focused window. Unfortunately in Mint 19 this theme no longer works. According to the github repo the theme supports GTK up to version 3.20. Mint 19 uses 3.22....

Bionic: that's the trick. I had artful in the URL. I did not try bionic, because Download VirtualBox for Linux Hosts only mentions: According to your distribution, replace '<mydist>' with 'artful', 'zesty', 'yakkety', 'xenial', 'trusty', 'stretch', 'jessie', or 'wheezy' I missed that galaxy0815 alre...

This is correct: deb [arch=amd64] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic non-free contrib (If you have a 64 bit machine) apt-get install virtualbox-5.2 virtualbox-ext-pack Sorry, typo from my side (typed the url in my post, instead of copy/pasting). I did not have the architecture ...

Hello, Today I did an upgrade from Mint 18.3 to 19. The upgrade ran without problems. I just discovered that VirtualBox 5.2 was removed. When I tried to install it (using the repositories of virtualbox.org, a message appeared that it could not be installed, because of the following missing requireme...

Currently I am running Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon. Kernel version is 4.13.0-45-generic (according to uname -r). Synaptic showed there were a lot of kernels installed, probably caused by successive updates. I uninstalled three versions of linux-headers-(version), linux-headers-(version)-generic, linux-...

... Someone bumps a 4 year dead thread which is either irrelevant to the current Cinnamon or the people didn't understand how it works. This should be its own topic. ... Hello, I am the OP of this thread. For me the bump helped me find out that in Cinnamon the window borders now can have their own ...

I tried the text-scaling-factor in dconf-editor. I only saw an effect in Writer, not in Evince. Based on the description the scaling-factor would come close, but unfortunately that only accepts integers. (The description of the text-scaling-factor says the same, but it does accept fractions.) Anyway...

I know Ctrl-Plus, it is setting the zoom factor. That is not what I am looking for. What I want is select zoom 100%, and then have the document displayed at its actual size. Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus in Evince zoom in and out, but don't give me a 114% zoom that is required to view a document at its a...

Yes, but there I can only set the screen resolution, but that is already set to the monitor's native resolution (2560 x 1440).
The only other option there is rotation.
There is no possibility to set the DPI value.

Hello, How can I set my monitor's dpi value in Cinnamon? My monitor has 109 dpi (27" 2560 x 1440). When viewing documents at 100% (in Writer or Evince for example) they are shown too small. The size of fonts and icons in the userinterface is fine. User interface scaling only shows the options Normal...

@LinuxJim As far as I remember I used the adduser command. The command env | grep -i shell gives SHELL= for the account which has the problem, and SHELL=/bin/bash for the other account. The account that has the environment variable set is the account made during install. The two accounts I created ...

Hello, I am running Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit. There are three accounts defined. One of these has an environment variable SHELL defined as /bin/bash. The other two don't have this variable set. This causes a dircolors warning message when starting a terminal, which is not a big problem. A big ...

What do you mean with that? Do you have to refresh the package list manually? I have had to do that always. I switched from Ubuntu when Mint 13 was the active version. In Ubuntu I would automatically get update notifications. In Mint I always have to press the Refresh button in the Update applicatio...
